Hi all, just popped in from across the way at Scoobynet.
My Dad has a 57 plate Mondeo Titanium X TDCi 140 which as the title suggests, has aquired a duck call like noise when the engine is switched off. Video of this amusing noise is below. Anyone have any idea what this could be? It comes from around the back of the engine.

BTW Stu, if you happen to read this - Why can't Scoobynet be as quick and smooth as Passion Ford

Thanks in advance:

 

that just made me spit my brew out!
i dont know whats causing it but id leave it as it sounds hilarious lol

 

I personally agree but i don't think my Mother is too amused with it

 

Quack quack oops!

 

I'm just wondering if his last service was carried out by Pets at Home as i discovered this yesterday

 

its a dry turbo actuator rod going fully in and out on its seal at shut down

 

So find the turbo and find the rod and squirt with WD40?

 

On my old golf tdi the EGR made a similar noise.

 

I'm back having located the source of the noise. If you look in the centre of the picture there are two brown things. The one at the rear is the source of the noise. If i unplug the air hose going to it or the electrical connector, the noise doesn't occur. So what is the brown thing? Can i take it apart and lube it or similar?

love that noise. they will be vacuum control something or other, have you tried a smear of grease round the hose?

 

No, haven't tried anything really. Wanted to understand what i was dealing with first. Good shout though. I'll have a try next time i'm at Pa's house :thumb:
